Nikon F80, AF NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8D, 1/125s, f11 – Silberra Pan 100
Developed in Adox Rodinal at 1:25, 8 mins at 20°c.

I can’t remember where I got this roll of Silberra Pan 100 film from but I didn’t have high hopes for it after using a roll of Ultima 160 a few years ago…

Digitised using Nikon D5600 & AF-S Micro-NIKKOR 40mm f/2.8, pixl-latr and Negative Lab Pro plugin with minimal cropping and tweaking in Lightroom Classic CC.

I’m definitely looking forward to warm, bright days, I’m fed up with damp and dreary…

11 years ago it was a cold and snowy Great Central Railway winter steam gala.
